Suzanne Borrell – Company Director and Event Producer

Having initially launched her career in PR, Suzanne has over 10 years experience within the exhibition industry. Focussing on both project management and conference production, Suzanne worked on a range of events primarily in the Energy, Infrastructure and Food and Agriculture Sectors.

In 2002 Suzanne was appointed Managing Director of Caspian Events Ltd with responsibility for the ‘Caspian Oil and Gas Exhibition and Conference’, a vast international trade show attracting hundreds of exhibiting companies and playing host to both the President of Azerbaijan and Energy Ministers from throughout the World. After the acquisition of this event, Suzanne worked as consultant on various projects within industry and for the UK Government both in this country and overseas.

After the birth of her son, Suzanne quickly realised the gap in the market for a large scale Regional event within the blossoming ‘baby’ sector in this part of the UK. After at least 9 months of planning and research Brighton Baby Expo was born.
